Dana White reveals White House event arena design and details

Dana White has unveiled the visual design for the UFC's planned White House event arena. The stage is being constructed in Europe and will be shipped to Philadelphia before being trucked to Washington, D.C., where it will be erected on the South Lawn of the White House. White emphasized that the UFC is funding the entire event without using taxpayer money, presenting it as a gift for America's 250th anniversary. He stressed the event is not political but rather a celebration of the United States. Over 70,000 people have already applied for tickets through UFCfreedom250.com. The Ellipse park across from the arena will host free viewing for fans, with more than 100,000 expected to attend various fight week events. The two-day fan festival will include a press conference, weigh-ins, and a performance by the Zac Brown Band, along with celebrity guests and big-screen fight viewing.
